Ukraine loses up to 40 locomotives a month to attacks on rail transport
Attacks destroying locomotives can reduce rail haulage capacity and constrain freight movement in Ukraine.

First impact
Rail and freight infrastructure →Shortage riskDiesel-Electric Freight Locomotives
Destroying locomotives directly reduces the available locomotive fleet that rail infrastructure depends on, tightening haulage capacity.
98% confidenceDiesel-Electric Freight Locomotives →Shortage riskRail and freight infrastructure
Destroying locomotives directly reduces haulage capacity, so the rail-and-freight infrastructure layer becomes capacity-constrained and freight movement slows.

Progress Rail (Caterpillar) / EMD →Shortage riskDiesel-Electric Freight Locomotives
Attacks that destroy locomotives tighten the diesel-electric freight locomotive market, and Progress Rail's 25% share with a 24-month replacement lead time implies slow substitution and a short-term supply squeeze.
